Re: How many games will Colts win?

Speaking of paying attention... there's positive reports out there, that you're obviously not paying attention to. That's called tunnel vision, bro-seph. You see only what you want to see, and positive thinking isn't in your field of vision. Just because you have a narrow scope and you fail to see things, doesn't mean they don't exist.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.

Re: How many games will Colts win?

we were in so many close games last year with curtis painter and dan O, we let prob 3-4 games slip by that we could have won and we ended up winning 2 games. so 5-6 wins with painter and Dan O, and i can easily see us winning 6-9 games especially since our division sucks so bad

Re: How many games will Colts win?

we all know peyton cheering from the bench was a big factor in those 2 wins and those other games being close. His expertise from the sideline will be irreplaceable. Without the expert clipboard holder this year, the Colts will be doomed.

Houston doesn't suck, they are very good. They will have no trouble walloping the Colts twice.....

Re: How many games will Colts win?

I will stick by my numbers regardless of the first preseason game. I voted 7-9 wins and I think more on the 7 wins than the 9 wins. Luck impressed me with his limited performance but I really want to see him do it against a tough Pittsburg defense. The kid is further along than I thought he would be.

His backups looked even better and that worries me. Perhaps it was just Rams ineptness. James Harrison is injured, thank God or Luck might not make it to the regular season....

Re: How many games will Colts win?

Actually, the Colts only won two games. Look for more of the same and Painter had a very good outing in a preseason game. He may make that team.... ...

Um. They won 3 games last year...like I said...with Painter playing most of the year. 8 of those games were within reach. Painter threw 9 picks, 6 TD's, was sacked 16 times and coughed up the ball 5 times. He was awful under any measure and there is no way Luck plays remotely close to that bad. Painter, IIRC, was benched at Purdue and from my recollection wasn't even a great college QB. The only reason he got his chance in the NFL is because he has a live arm.

When someone shows you that you are wrong, you need to just say thank you and move on. The Colts won two games last year..... The Colts also lost a few of those games with the Collins experiement. Painter looked very good last week. I am rooting for him to make that team.... He is better than he showed in Indy...... ...

Re: How many games will Colts win?

No, the opposite is still a fan but can see those shortcomings. Strengths and virtues are also cherised by a fan who sees beyond his own homer views. I have those views too but I stop to read and watch all areas of the team. The fact is, I think this team will suck just as bad as last year but in different ways. They will be better on offense if the offensive line (and our is very offensive) keeps Luck upright. The defense will be astonishingly bad because we are switching to a 3-4 and trying to bend the players we have to fit that system. It won't work this year and it might take three or four years before it does. Right now, I would think it would be a miracle if Luck played all 16 regular season games. It is a small miracle that any QB makes it through that but if Luck does, it will be a MAJOR miracle. I fear he will suffer a serious injury trying to play behind that stinking line....... Even the starting running back can't block.... ...

Re: How many games will Colts win?

[QUOTE=Kid Minneapolis;1494190]You seriously thought Stanton and Harnisch looked better than Luck??? You have some major blinders on lol...

Btw, you really think Luck is scared of Harrison?

If he isn't scared of Harrison, he is an idiot. Harrison hurts people and knocks them out for the season. That is why he gets fined and suspended all of the time. Yes, I thought Stanton and Harnisch looked as good or better than Luck. One of them had a "perfect" QB rating. Luck didn't. But that was backups against backups. I am just saying that the Rams made all three look good. Preseason means nothing. The Colts could win all of their preseason games and look great and then come out and go 0-16 in the regular season as Luck gets chased all over the field, sacked and making rushed throws. That offensive line is really terrible and real season play will show that in a hurry..... ...
